Naming the Gaul way
As a child, my heart and soul lived in the 'Asterix Village'...err..well almost into adulthood...okay-okay..even now! I always wondered how they knew what babies would grow up to be, because their names seemed so apt! 'impedimenta', 'getafix', 'unhygenix'.....Even today, well into adulthood, my 'little mind' still believes that the gauls could predict the personalities from the faces of the babies. Am sure it had something to do with the druid's potion...So, when I had to name my babies..I peered and peered into their innocent faces like an old knowledgable peer (heh, that rhymes) and said - my little one is meant to be 'truthful'. Well, 11 years on...It is almost there....and the second time round we thought, she looks like a beautiful flower so out came a lovely hebrew name...and the closest we get to the botany of it is, the fragrance of a crushed petal because the little one loves its texture....Am sure i got it right this time by naming my blog - 'Egonomica'! Long live the Gauls!
